    PFF player grades: Several Gophers shine in upset of USC

    Lot of guys who don’t normally play got good marks. Bierman at TE—w/o who is seeing snaps this year. On D, Mau, Becker, Finnessy and Gerlach. We must have a lot of guys nicked up on D. Depth this year is starting to show out.

    Brosmer

    Athan vs Nebbie: 40%, 1 TD, 2 INT.

    Brosmer

    I e I enjoyed it a lot! Loved how our DBs played. Loved the offense. It was a great game. There is some real talent on the Gophers D. Just a casual observation about LB play.

    Brosmer

    At the game last night, it seemed like our LB play wasn’t to good. Seemed not to fill run gaps (maybe USC OL was getting to second level). Also LBs were invisible in crossing routes USC ran all night. Didn’t listen to any game commentary live, so this is just an impression. But I think our LB...

    Curt Cignetti’s Contract

    That was the point of my posting this. Indiana University is paying very little until incentives are met. Looks like most of the base comes from boosters (endorsements, etc).

    Week 6 Other Games Thread

    WR CJ Williams having a pretty good game for the Badgers. Penn State had a slow start against UCLA. Didn’t get its second score until almost halftime. Looks like UCLA is going to have a tough time scoring, though.

    Love to see Brosmer out duel Moss tonight. Hope our run game shows up—supposed to be windy.

    Curt Cignetti’s Contract

    Curt Cignetti’s contract at Indiana. Interesting approach. No year zero for Cignetti, apparently. Big money funneled to coordinators. This guy can coach. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/football/new-indiana-football-staff-curt-cignetti-contract-details

    ***OFFICIAL USC AT MINNESOTA MAROON AND GOLD BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    USC has explosive play ability, which I hope we can harness. Hope our defensive backfield is healthy and or DL fired up. A complete game by the Gophers would include executing a creative and aggressive offense beginning with drive no. 1. In P4 games, PJ's teams are notorious for slow offensive...

    ***OFFICIAL USC AT MINNESOTA MAROON AND GOLD BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    One huge improvement would be no "arm twitch" false starts from our young Center. These are self-inflicted drive killers against a ranked team. We need a fair shot on each offense drive. Go Gophers.

    ESPN: 1 more win.

    Everybody is saying this. The vast majority of Americans and every football expert. Like nothing anybody has ever seen before.

    Predict the Score Thread: USC at Minnesota

    Bad streak going against P4 teams. But, we should have beaten UNC and had we not surrendered a blocked punt in the Michigan's red zone, probably should have beaten Michigan. Beating USC: 1. Play a complete game, or even a three quarters game; 2. Stop missing tackles that should be made...

    How would you try and beat USC?

    Play a complete game. No short fields for USC offense.

    Most undisciplined team since BrewCrew

    Same thought occurred to me. A little more disciple and an average FG kicker, we might be 4-1.

    Brosmer

    Brosmer’s first two B1G games were a baptism of fire against Iowa and Michigan—both great, extremely talented defenses. They bottled up our running game and pressured the QB rushing only 4, leaving 7 in coverage. Brosmer’s path might get easier as season goes on. PSU defense might be as tough as...

    Week 6 Pick'ems! October 5th games

    Gophers Michigan Missouri Florida Making my first explanation of picks ever--so all four are probably wrong! If the Gophers had played a complete game, without critical turnovers in the red zone TWICE, gifting Michigan 14 easy points, the Gophers would have exposed Michigan's hapless offense...

    A huge concern

    I believe our running game is better when Brosmer is running a high tempo offense. Frankly, many of the short passes he completes are essentially substitute running plays. DT is catching a lot of passes out of our high tempo offense. Keep giving DT lots of touches at the second level--good...

    A rare opportunity

    How many blocked punts and missed FGs did USC suffer against MI? If PJ's Gophers could just once put together a well-rounded ST's performance, the Gophers might well beat a ranked team (and we'd probably be 4-1 right now). Even with Koi's incredible positive contributions on punt return, our...
